Perfect is boring!
My mom directed me to a tutorial on
wiredupbeads. I like the idea...but it's blue first of all...and it looks too perfect. The directions are made for beginners, and I found them irritating...I used my own much smaller pliers, smaller gauge wire, and I made the loops lopsided, overlapping, and different sizes, because perfect really is pretty boring. The other change I made was to the hook (the directions made theirs huge) and the last loop. I made the hook smaller, and I wrapped the loop to finish it rather than leave the tail loose. That drives me nuts. That said, I love the bracelet I made. It's small and delicate, and light as a feather.
